The role combines hands-on laboratory experimentation, analytical method development, chemical and sensor testing, data analysis, and technical documentation. The successful candidate works closely with R&D and Engineering teams to translate research concepts into reliable methods and product-ready solutions while following laboratory quality and safety requirements. \nKey Responsibilities \n1. Research & Experimental Development \n• Plan and conduct experiments to investigate chemical, electrochemical, optical, photonic, and wet-chemistry approaches for water quality and contamination detection. \n• Support research into chemical reactions, sensing materials, reagents, and analytical techniques relevant to product development. \n• Prepare samples, reagents, and experimental setups; record observations and maintain reproducible experimental conditions. \n• Review findings and recommend improvements to methods, materials, and procedures. \n2. Analytical Method Development & Validation \n• Develop, optimise, and evaluate analytical methods for target contaminants and water quality parameters. \n• Conduct method verification and validation, assessing accuracy, precision, repeatability, sensitivity, selectivity, and detection limits where applicable. \n• Establish calibration procedures, controls, reference materials, and acceptance criteria with the R&D team. \n• Investigate unexpected results, identify root causes, and implement corrective actions. \n3. Laboratory Testing & Instrumentation \n• Perform chemical and instrumental analysis using relevant laboratory equipment and approved procedures. \n• Conduct instrument checks, calibration, maintenance, and performance verification; identify and report equipment issues. \n• Ensure appropriate sample handling, preparation, storage, and disposal. \n• Support testing of prototypes, sensor systems, and analytical solutions under laboratory and relevant field conditions. \n4. Data Analysis & Technical Documentation \n• Process, analyse, interpret, and present experimental data using appropriate scientific and statistical methods. \n• Prepare experiment reports, test results, method protocols, SOPs, and technical records. \n• Maintain complete, accurate, and traceable records to support reproducibility and product development decisions. \n• Communicate findings, technical issues, and recommendations to project stakeholders. \n5. Quality, Safety & Compliance \n• Conduct laboratory work in accordance with approved SOPs, internal quality procedures, and applicable safety requirements. \n• Support practices aligned with ISO/IEC 17025:2017, including document control, equipment records, quality control, traceability, and data integrity. \n• Assist in preparing technical evidence and records for laboratory audits and SAC-SINGLAS accreditation readiness. \n• Maintain a safe, organised laboratory and follow chemical handling, risk assessment, and waste management procedures. \n6. Product & Cross-Functional Collaboration \n• Work with Engineering and product teams to integrate chemical methods, reagents, and sensing approaches into analyser and monitoring systems. \n• Support prototype evaluation, troubleshooting, design iterations, and performance improvement. \n• Collaborate with R&D, Engineering, Deployment, and Operations teams to resolve technical challenges and support product readiness. \n• Keep up to date with relevant scientific literature, analytical technologies, and water quality monitoring developments. \nQualifications & Skills \n• Degree in Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related discipline; a postgraduate qualification is an advantage. \n• Experience in laboratory research, analytical testing, method development, or product R&D is preferred. \n• Knowledge of analytical chemistry, electrochemistry, wet chemistry, instrumentation, and sample preparation. \n• Experience with method optimisation, calibration, validation, experimental design, and scientific data analysis. \n• Familiarity with ISO/IEC 17025, laboratory quality systems, SOPs, and data integrity is an advantage. \n• Strong experimental, analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills with attention to detail. \n• Ability to prepare technical reports and communicate scientific findings clearly. \n• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a multidisciplinary R&D environment. \nPreferred Experience \n• Water analysis, environmental testing, contamination monitoring, or trace-level analysis. \n• Electrochemical sensors, functional materials, optical/photonic sensing, or sensor development. \n• Analytical instruments, calibration standards, reference materials, and method validation. \n• Prototype testing, technology transfer, or development of laboratory methods for commercial products. \nKey Competencies \nLaboratory Research • Analytical Method Development • Chemical & Instrumental Analysis • Electrochemical / Sensor Technologies • Experimental Design & Data Analysis • Method Validation • ISO/IEC 17025 • Technical Documentation • Laboratory Safety • Cross-Functional Collaboration \nSuccess Measures \n• Reliable and reproducible experimental results supported by complete, traceable records. \n• Successful development, optimisation, and validation of analytical methods relevant to product requirements. \n• Effective contribution to prototype testing, troubleshooting, and product development milestones. \n• Compliance with laboratory procedures, quality requirements, and safety practices. \n• Timely delivery of research activities, reports, and technical documentation. \n\nHow to Apply\nif you are interested in this opportunity, please send your updated resume, expected salary, and earliest available start date to .
